this game doesn't look anything close to Tekken at all whatsoever. I'm not sure if you play many fighting games but I see more of Virtua Fighter, Toshinden, Flying Dragon, Fighting Layer, other arena type fighters. Tekken's the last thing I'd think of when seeing this game. and I don't see it as a "rip-off". if that's the case then DOA ripped off Virtua Fighter (which I don't think it did, it's just SIMILAR)
Maybe my memory is bad but I am a Yoshimitsu fan and that chick's moves seem to be ripped right off him. I could be getting his Tekken iteration confused with his Soul Calibur version. For sure though, her moves were ripped right from Yoshimitsu.
This game obviously has a lot of "inspiration" from various sources.
The Konami M2 was a CD based arcade system, and from what I've read the system was notorious for its long load times, however in this video load times seem to be non-existant.
The board loads at the startup of the cabinet, then it really doesnt load. Same with many disk based arcade systems (or enough to be notable), such as the Naomi GD-rom systems
Pretty interesting game, and that's an interesting character (the red-haired female)
I love Tekken, but many interesting fighting games these days can't be released without being called "Tekken rip-offs". GIVE OTHER FIGHTING GAMES A CHANCE!!!!!
@sketcha09 More like Virtua Fighter rip-offs. If you think Tekken is better than Virtua Fighter, because of Tekken being easier, then consider yourself a gamer that dislikes effort. Tekken is okay, but I think Virtua Fighter is simply a more rewarding gaming experience and I feel like I have to really work to get the best out of it. Tekken, or indeed, SoulCalibur on the otherhand, offer very good results without having to try at the game (i.e. button mashing CAN and usually will work).
@MHMemeDoubleYourFun My point is that every 3d hand-to-hand fighting game is labeled as "Tekken Rip-Off", besides Virtua Fighter. Even Street Fighter EX was labeled as it.
My problem is people aren't giving games like these a chance. Instead they put them in the back burner. It's kind of like music. We have Lady Gaga and Beyonce, but the minute you see another female artist trying to shine, names are mentioned a lot by commenters. Not that I don't like Beyonce though, but it's true.
Interesting obscure fighting game. Is this based on an anime? Some of the command animations look like they are ripped from Tekken and Virtua Fighter.
@devilryuNZ1 and some of the characters with weapons give clues that Konami was also inspired by weapon based fighters such as Soul Edge and Last Bronx too
This is konami's m2 3do hardware, non-emulatable yet. there's too many custom chips on the board it's too hard to emulate. maybe in a year or two. anyway, the following games are also 3do m2, Battle Tryst, Evil Night/Hell Night, Heat of Eleven 98', Total Vice, and Tobe Polystars. All of which images were dumped into chd form. but total vice was dumped wrong so we're still waiting for another one.
The graphics hardware of Konami's Cobra hardware was based on 3Dfx Voodoo1-based chips. The Cobra was hyped as a Sega Model3-killer, but the real-world performance and quality of the graphics was well below the Lockheed Martin Real3D powered Model 3 board.
panasonic was supposed to make a second 3DO console in 1996, strictly based off of their Konami M2 hardware. the cosole wouldve had games running on this hardware on the console, arcade perfect. but the abysmal failure of the original 3do and the huge success made them back off on it. because of konamis deal with panasonic they wouldnt port these games to any other console.
It was the other way around. The Konami M2 arcade hardware was based on the M2 console spec.
3DO developed the M2 (codenamed Bulldog) between 1993 and 1995. In late 1995 3DO sold the M2 chipset to Matsushita (Panasonic) for $100M. Matsushita completed the development of the M2 console between '96 and '97. In '97 they canceled the console version but used it in several industrial, commercial and consumer products. So the Konami board was based on the M2 console, not the other way around.
This game shows us that the 3DO-designed M2 technology was somewhat more advanced / more powerful than PlayStation & Nintendo 64, about equal to the 1996 PC 3D accelerators such as Rendition Vérité, 3DFX Voodoo1 and first-gen Videologic PowerVR. The M2 was *perhaps* maybe capable of handling SEGA MODEL 2 arcade games, but obviously nowhere near the level of MODEL 3 or Dreamcast/NAOMI.
graphics of this game are similar to vf2, the moves similar to dead or alive

I've got the CHD of this game, but the M2 still can't be emulated, what is a pity. Does somebody have a solution?

@sketcha09 Why call them "Tekken rip-offs" instead of "Virtua Fighter rip-offs"? Virtua Fighter started it.
